Your villains do need to have some weakness the PCs can exploit if they are to prevail in the end. Just be careful about making it something
that they could stumble across accidentally less than a third of the way through the adventure.

Oh, and yeah, those are some seriously impressive glaives the guards are wielding. Or are they guisarmes? Or voulges? Or glaive-guisarmes? Or
bardiches? Or guisarme-voulges? Or Bohemian ear-spoons?

In the real world of the Magicians & Munchkins universe, of course, the Oz movies don't exist. That's the premise of this
entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as insanely elaborate pole-arms) do, albeit modified by the
lack of The Wizard of Oz:

Without the success of The Wizard of Oz to spark interest in children's fantasy, H. R. Pufnstuf was never revived
with a movie and a new series, and remains an obscure short-running TV show.

The Cat in the Hat was never made into a film. Dr. Seuss fans never had it so good.

The major children's fantasy background that pervades all of Western culture is Peter Pan, despite it never being much good.
The original film was remade recently into a new, updated television series with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing.
And it sucked.

Throughout the 80s and 90s, all the greatest children's Hollywood blockbusters were big-budget boarding school dramas.
